Background: I have a TechniSat SkyStar USB HD DVB-S2 Digital Satellite USB Box, a fresh install of Mythbuntu 12.04, and I would like Myth to use the satellite box.

My immediate problem is that the kernel doesn't appear to be detecting the satellite box. I installed Kaffeine: it doesn't show any TV devices. The Kaffeine FAQ states that if my device is recognised, there should be DVB messages in dmesg; dmesg | grep -i dvb doesn't match anything.
